When a palm-tree would be cut down, one would take its fiber and dry it. Then one would beat them with a stick until they become soft, then one would make threads of them, which would be woven together (into a rope). In the same way it could be made of the leaves of the dragon-blood trees81: a dry leaf would be beaten, then (the fiber) would be woven together until it would become a rope’ (Naumkin et al. 2022:275)
